Travelling with All the Senses
A fine-dining Mecca, the taste of the Atlantic and the quiet indulgence of the stone desert
Six nights. Three worlds. A journey whose rhythm grows calmer with every stage. In Marrakech, centuries-old craftsmanship, contemporary design and a confident new cuisine come together. On the lagoon of Oualidia, salt, wind and tides determine the flavour. And in the Agafay, the landscape opens out, the silence deepens and the essential becomes tangible and tasteable once more.
For those who seek the extraordinary not in abundance, but in the quality of a single moment: in a precisely composed menu, a fresh oyster straight from the water, a horizon without distraction – and in the rare freedom of having to be nowhere else.
Three Worlds of Indulgence
Three places. Three forms of luxury. A journey back to your own time. Marrakech opens the journey with energy: ochre architecture, hidden courtyards, the dense weave of the souks and a cuisine that reinterprets Moroccan flavours. Then the horizon shifts. In Oualidia, luxury tastes of the Atlantic – clear, salty and immediate. The tides set the pace, the lagoon creates space, and indulgence comes straight from the sea. In the Agafay, everything grows quieter. The colours are reduced to stone, earth and sky. Regional produce, herbs, embers and smoke become a cuisine that seems conceived from the landscape itself. The view reaches all the way to the High Atlas, the evening belongs to the fire, and time is no longer measured.
Three destinations, five clearly staged travel moments. Each stage transforms the form of indulgence – urban, maritime, earthbound – and deliberately leaves room to grasp a place not merely by seeing it, but with all the senses.
Marrakech does not begin only on the square or in the souk. The first light on the ochre walls, the scent of cedarwood, citrus and spices, and the many-voiced life of the city already sharpen the senses. After your personal welcome, your private transfer takes you to a selected Luxury Hideaway. Behind a discreet door, the energy of the street gives way to the cool of a courtyard, the sound of water and a calm that arrives unexpectedly. The first evening gives you the freedom to find your own pace: over an aperitif on the rooftops, a first dinner in the city or in complete seclusion at the riad. No programme to be completed. Only Marrakech – and the feeling of having arrived.
What You Experience
- Personal welcome at Marrakech airport and private transfer
- Arriving at a selected Luxury Hideaway behind the walls of the medina
- Optional: aperitif on the rooftops & rooftop-terrace dinner
What Fascinates Us Most
How Marrakech sharpens every sense within moments – and can fall utterly silent behind a single door.
The following morning, Marrakech reveals its full breadth. With your Private Guide you discover significant architecture, hidden courtyards and the vibrant weave of the medina. On the Jemaa el-Fna you encounter musicians, traders and storytellers; its tradition of storytelling, music and market culture has been recognised as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2001.
In the souks, Morocco becomes legible through its materials and aromas: leather and brass, wood and textiles, cumin, saffron, preserved lemons and freshly roasted nuts. In between, carefully curated routes lead to concept stores, galleries, design addresses and rooftop terraces that represent the new Marrakech.
In the evening, the city becomes a stage for great cuisine. In a selected restaurant you experience a dinner that engages all the senses: alongside finely composed dishes that take up traditional flavours, refine and reinterpret them, come oriental dance, the hypnotic rhythms of the Gnaoua and live music. The evening becomes a festival of taste, sound and movement – a sensuous finale to the Marrakech day.

What Fascinates Us Most
The effortless contrast between centuries-old craftsmanship, contemporary style and a new Moroccan cuisine with international ambition.
The city recedes, the landscape opens out. After around two and a half hours, the lagoon of Oualidia opens onto the Atlantic. From now on, light, wind and tides shape the day.
La Sultana Oualidia lies nestled between gardens, lagoon and ocean – an intimate retreat that combines privacy with an immediate closeness to nature. In the morning, a fine mist hangs over the water. Fishing boats glide silently to the oyster beds, rare birds cross the lagoon, and with every hour the light changes the colours of the coast. Here, indulgence arises not from staging but from provenance: oysters straight from the lagoon, fresh fish, Atlantic air and a dinner on the beach. Two nights in which the outer pace quietens and your own becomes tangible again.
What You Experience
- Private transfer from Marrakech to the lagoon of Oualidia, approx. 2.5 hours
- 2 nights with breakfast at the luxurious 5-star hotel La Sultana Oualidia
- Boat trip to the oyster beds with a tasting
- Dinner in a Berber tent on the beach at Oualidia
- Optional: quad-bike safari or fatbike tour
- Optional: kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on the lagoon
- Optional: cookery or cocktail class at La Sultana Oualidia
- Optional: golden-hour cruise across the lagoon
What Fascinates Us Most
The moment the morning mist lifts, the lagoon begins to glow and the taste of the Atlantic comes straight from the water.
On the way from the Atlantic coast into the Agafay, your Private Chauffeur makes a stop in Safi if you wish. Without a guide and without a dense programme, there is time for your own view of the coastal town: for ceramics and craftsmanship, a relaxed lunch and those chance discoveries that only arise when you follow no fixed plan.
Afterwards, the landscape changes step by step. The blue of the Atlantic falls away, the earth turns ochre, the vegetation grows sparser – until, before the peaks of the High Atlas, the expanse of the Agafay opens up.
What You Experience
- Optional leisure stop in Safi
- Time for ceramics, craftsmanship and lunch at your own pace
- Onward journey into the stone desert of the Agafay
- Arrival at an exceptional Desert Hideaway
- Optional: visit to a ceramics workshop in Safi
- Optional: arranged lunch at a restaurant overlooking the town
What Fascinates Us Most
How clay and fire become craftsmanship – and how the blue of the coast slowly gives way to the colours of earth and stone on the way into the desert.
In the Agafay, the journey reaches its calmest and, at the same time, most impressive point. Amid the moon-like stone desert lies an exceptional Desert Hideaway that does not try to outdo the landscape but opens itself to it. Generous suite tents with private terraces, an infinity pool that mirrors the desert sky, carefully designed retreats and the open view all the way to the High Atlas create an atmosphere in which time seems to stand still.
When the sun sinks, the stone desert becomes a stage. Fire, deep shadows and a clear starry sky transform the space – and with it, perception.
The culinary highlight is a multi-course panoramic dinner under the open sky. Regional produce, herbs, embers and smoke are staged with precision and surprise. This is not a dinner set beside the landscape, but a taste experience drawn from it: concentrated, earthbound and unforgettable.
What You Experience
- 2 nights with breakfast in a selected Desert Hideaway in the Agafay
- Generous suite tents with a private terrace and views across the stone desert to the High Atlas
- Spectacular multi-course panoramic dinner beneath the starry sky
- Camp dinner on the second desert evening
- Unplanned time, deep silence and the vastness of the stone desert
- Evenings by the fire beneath the clear starry sky of the Agafay
- Optional: dromedary tour through the lunar landscape of the Agafay
- Optional: hot-air balloon flight at sunrise over the stone desert
What Fascinates Us Most
When great cuisine, open fire and the deep silence of the stone desert merge into a single, elemental experience.
The defining experience of this journey is not a sight. It lies in the space in between: in a morning that does not begin with an appointment. In a lunch allowed to last longer. In a second glance, a sunset and the leisure simply to be, until the day sinks into night.
Because transfers, stays and special experiences are privately arranged, the journey follows no group schedule but your own rhythm. Marrakech sharpens the senses, Oualidia widens the horizon, the Agafay lets everything come to rest. What remains is the rare feeling that time does not simply pass – but is lived with every moment.

Destinations beyond the usual routes
Three places, three distinct worlds of retreat: a historically characterful Luxury Hideaway in Marrakech, La Sultana Oualidia as an exclusive refuge above the lagoon, and an exceptional Desert Hideaway in the silent expanse of the Agafay. Each place has its own architectural and culinary signature. What they share is the combination of privacy, personal service and a keen sense of atmosphere. With every stage, the space opens further – and everyday life recedes into the distance.
Cuisine is the common thread of this journey – and tells a different story at every stop. In Marrakech it is cosmopolitan, precise and surprising. In Oualidia it comes fresh from the Atlantic and tastes of salt, sea and life. In the Agafay it becomes concentrated and elemental: regional produce, herbs, embers and smoke against the backdrop of the stone desert.
From fine dining and oysters straight from the lagoon to a panoramic dinner beneath the starry sky, taste becomes the most intense way of encountering a place.

Marrakesh
Your private guide will accompany you to one of the most beautiful trekking villages in the Atlas Mountains: Ait Souka. From here you will enjoy breathtaking views of Jebel Toubkal (4,167 m), the highest mountain in North Africa. During the hike you will reach altitudes of around 2,000 metres while passing through picturesque Berber villages. The highlight of the day is lunch with a local Berber family.
The Ouzoud Waterfalls are among the most spectacular natural sights in Morocco. The water cascades down 110 metres in three impressive tiers, surrounded by olive groves and reddish rock cliffs. The area is ideal for hiking and exploring. Highlights include a visit to the Imi n'Ifri natural cave with its red stalactites, watching the local macaque monkeys, swimming opportunities and optional boat rides. Travel time from Marrakesh is approximately three hours.
Golfing in Marrakesh is easy and spectacular. The city offers an excellent selection of courses, including the historic Royal Golf Marrakesh (27 holes), Palmeraie Golf (27 holes), the impressive Amelkis Golf Club (27 holes) and Samanah Golf Club (18 holes). Play between palm trees with breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains and desert landscapes.
Riding a camel or dromedary is one of Morocco's most traditional and charming ways to explore the landscape. Your guide will take you on a half-day or full-day excursion off the usual tourist paths to discover hidden places and authentic encounters with local communities.
Skiing with views of the Sahara desert? It is possible in Oukaimeden, located about 75 km from Marrakesh. From December to April, ski slopes between 2,500 and 3,200 metres altitude offer a unique winter sports experience. Spend the day skiing in the mountains and return in the evening to Marrakesh's vibrant nightlife.
A must for adventurers and curious travellers: a hot air balloon flight over the imperial city. From the sky, watch the colourful cityscape of Marrakesh fade into vast desert landscapes and the peaks of the Atlas Mountains. A truly breathtaking experience.
Discover the beauty of Arabic craftsmanship during a creative workshop lasting two to five hours. Choose from experiences such as Arabic calligraphy, pottery, mosaic art, wood carving, jewellery design, basket weaving, brass work, embroidery, leather craft or Berber carpet weaving, and gain insight into Morocco's rich artisan traditions.
Encounters with local people are often the most memorable moments of any journey. Your private guide will open doors usually closed to travellers. Share a meal in the home of a Berber family and experience the warmth and generosity of Moroccan hospitality.
Experience Moroccan culture in a magical One Thousand and One Nights setting. In a traditional Berber tent you will enjoy an opulent dinner accompanied by a spectacular show featuring belly dancers, acrobats, horse riders, fireworks and traditional Moroccan music. A memorable evening of entertainment and hospitality.
Oualidia
Among stalls of fruit and vegetables, olives, spices, bread, ceramics and regional crafts, you will experience an authentic glimpse of local everyday life. On a guided visit, you will discover the region’s products and learn how the weekly market brings together traders and families from Oualidia and the surrounding villages.
On a guided excursion, you will discover El Jadida and the UNESCO-protected Portuguese town of Mazagan. The mighty bastions, the historic fortress walls, the Portuguese cistern and the alleyways of the Cité Portugaise tell of the past of this former port city.
Safi is regarded as an important centre of Moroccan ceramic art. On a guided half-day excursion, you will explore the medina and the potters‘ quarters and learn more about this centuries-old craft. The National Ceramics Museum and a visit to the historic Ksar el-Bahr complete the programme.
On the calm waters of the lagoon, you will experience Oualidia from a new perspective. The guided route is chosen to suit the tides, the wind and your experience, so there is time to let your gaze wander over the salt marshes, fishing boats and wide expanse of water. As you paddle, you train balance, strength and coordination, engage almost all of your muscles and, at the same time, enjoy the soothing effect of the water.
On a guided ride, you will follow quiet paths between lagoon, pastureland and Atlantic. Depending on the route, the way leads towards Les Tomates and down to the beach. Pace and route are adapted to riding experience, ground conditions and weather. The ride is especially atmospheric at sunset.
In a single or tandem kayak, you will discover the expansive lagoon landscape of Oualidia. The guided route takes account of currents, tides and sensitive natural areas, keeping an appropriate distance from the habitat of numerous water and migratory birds. Depending on conditions, the tour is also suitable for beginners.
Sandy paths, salt marshes and wide views characterise this guided tour through the surroundings of Oualidia. The wide tyres of the fat bikes provide grip on changing terrain, while the route is adapted to fitness levels and conditions. Along the way, ever-new perspectives on the lagoon and the Atlantic open up.
Agafay
From your Agafay camp, travel to the beautiful Ourika Valley (approx. 50–60 km, 1–1.5 hours by 4×4). Together with your guide, explore traditional Berber villages and visit a local argan oil cooperative. The highlight of the excursion is the Setti Fatma waterfalls, a series of seven cascades with natural pools perfect for cooling off. Enjoy panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains and lunch in a traditional kasbah.
Around Lake Lalla Takerkoust (approx. 20–40 km from the Agafay camps), gentle trails follow the shoreline and surrounding hills, offering beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains. These routes are ideal for one- to two-hour walks. Along the lake you will also find cafés and opportunities for outdoor and water sports such as jet skiing, kayaking and stand-up paddling, as well as quad tours around the lake and towards Agafay.
A unique experience: glide for 15–30 minutes above the desert and the Lalla Takerkoust reservoir with views of Jebel Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains. About 1–1.5 hours from your desert camp lies a well-known paragliding spot at the northern edge of the Atlas. Your tandem flight begins from the Aguergour slope, with launch points between 950 and 1,250 metres, soaring over the Kik Plateau, Berber villages and valleys.
A must for the curious and adventurous: a hot air balloon flight over the royal city of Marrakesh. From above, your view drifts from the vibrant colours of the city to the vast desert landscapes and the Atlas Mountains. An unforgettable experience.
